Operations Automation for IT and Business Workflows
Tuxxin builds Bash, Python and PHP automations that run on Linux: deploys, backups, reports, integrations and monitoring.
Tuxxin replaces manual workflows with scripts that run on a schedule, log their output and alert someone when they fail: the CSV export, the VLOOKUP, the emailed result and the numbers copied into another system. Past work includes the RIR delegation imports behind worldip.io.
Automation Services
Scheduled Scripts
Cron-driven Bash and Python jobs with structured logging, lock-file safety, retry logic and Slack or email alerts on failure. Auditable code replaces fragile spreadsheets.
Data Pipelines
CSV, API and database ingestion: daily inventory feeds, supplier syncs, accounting exports and RIR or MaxMind imports. Idempotent, restartable and observable.
Reports and Dashboards
PDF or HTML reports delivered to email or Slack on a schedule, and live Grafana dashboards when you need real-time numbers.
Deploys and CI/CD
Git-driven deploys with zero-downtime cutovers, automated tests, database migrations and one-command rollback.
Monitoring and Alerts
Synthetic checks against your live site, third-party API uptime monitors and cost-anomaly detectors, with alerts routed to the person who can fix the problem.
Integrations
Connections between systems that lack a native integration: Shopify and QuickBooks, Stripe and an ERP, ticket systems and Slack, GA4 and internal dashboards.
Our Automation Stack
Languages
Bash for orchestration, Python for data work, PHP for web-facing pieces and Node where an API has only a JavaScript client. The next developer can read every one of them.
Scheduling
Cron and flock for single-host jobs, systemd timers where journal integration matters, and Kubernetes CronJobs when a project needs them.
Observability
Structured JSON logs to journald or Loki, Prometheus exporters for long-running jobs and heartbeat pings for batch jobs.
Storage
SQLite for local state, MariaDB or PostgreSQL for shared state and S3-compatible object storage for files.
Secrets
.env files with mode 0600 and locked-down ownership for simple cases, and HashiCorp Vault or systemd credentials for anything multi-host.
Version Control
Every automation lives in a git repository with a README that explains how to run it.
Our Delivery Process
-
Map the Workflow
A working session where you walk Tuxxin through the manual process and the repeatable steps are marked for automation.
-
Prototype
A quick prototype runs against a copy of your data, so you see real output before any production cutover.
-
Productionize
Error handling, retries, alerting, logging and lock-file safety, deployed to a Linux host your company owns or to a cloud scheduler.
-
Hand Off and Maintain
A documented runbook and git repository. The annual program covers ongoing changes, dependency upgrades and incident response.
Operations Automation Is Right for You If
- A team member spends more than 4 hours a week copying data between systems.
- One person on your team is the only one who knows how a recurring process runs.
- Your cron jobs fail silently, or succeed silently when they should have failed.
- You want to connect two systems that have APIs but no native connector.
- You still deploy over FTP or by logging in with SSH and pulling by hand.
